Pedal Day Tokyo is an annual celebration of cycling in the city and is celebrating its 5th anniversary in style over an entire month and a half of organised rides culminating with the Pedal Day Festival on August 16, 17 and 18th.
The celebrations kick off on July 19 with a Bunny Hop School at the Aoyama Farmers Market followed by the monthly Night Pedal Cruising Ride. Between July 19th and the Pedal Day Festival starting August 16 a number of themed rides are being planned, rides that take in beautiful parks, others that sample great food, rides touring temples, picnic rides and rides just for fun.
If you have a suggestion for a themed ride we'd love to hear it.
I'm planning to lead a ride to Kichijoji's beautiful Inokashira Park where we can enjoy a picnic in the sun.
Watch this space for the complete ride schedule once we have it cast in stone.
On the 16th and 17th of August Pedal Day festivities will be held at the Aoyama Farmers Market and will include stalls with food and the opportunity to meet and speak with bicycle lovers from around the city, and indeed around the globe not to mention bicycle store owners and other cycling organisations from around the city.
On August 18th the celebration will move to Tokyo's Yoyogi Park where a number of activities and events are organised.
Pedal Day is an event organised by Tokyo's cycling community for Tokyo's cycling community, please do come along on a ride and join us at the Tokyo Pedal Day 2014.
